Tuesday, June 19, 2007; Page E02

Suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones was being sought by police for questioning about a shooting early yesterday involving members of his entourage after a fight at an Atlanta strip club.

The Tennessee Titans cornerback is currently on suspension following a melee and shooting at a Las Vegas strip club.

Jones, his group and three other people got into a fight, apparently over a woman, at a club around 4 a.m., officer Ariel Toledo said. Someone from Jones's group threatened the three men, who told a security officer at the club about it.

After everyone involved left the strip club -- the three people in one car, and Jones and his entourage in three other cars -- someone in Jones's group shot several times into the car as it waited at a red light, police said.

The driver returned fire toward the shooter.

Toledo said Jones was not present when the shots were fired and no charges have been filed against him.

One person in the car that was shot at received a minor injury from debris scattered by the shooting. . . .

Running back Quincy Wilson was charged with disorderly conduct for failing to disperse after a weekend wedding party in Huntington, W.Va., making him the 10th Cincinnati Bengals player arrested in the past 14 months.

The running back was booked at a jail and released Sunday afternoon. He is scheduled to appear in Huntington Municipal Court on July 19. . . .

Jim Norton, a four-time AFL all-star safety and an original member of the Houston Oilers, died June 12 in Garland, Tex., a Dallas suburb. He was 68.

· COLLEGES: In Omaha, Bryan Petersen ended the longest game in College World Series history with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the 13th inning, giving UC Irvine a 5-4 victory over Cal State Fullerton. The 5-hour, 40-minute game beat the 1981 mark set by Oklahoma State and Arizona State by 40 minutes.

· HIGH SCHOOLS: Potomac (Va.) forward Lynetta Kizer, a rising senior, orally committed to the University of Maryland, her mother, Yvonne, said.

The 6-foot-4 Kizer, a third-team All-Met who averaged 22.9 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks last season, chose Maryland over Duke, Virginia, and N.C. State.
